Found! Your Shorts Alternative, The Skort
Tina, here.
Alert: You may think these are short-shorts, or worse, a miniskirt. They are not. I have discovered the summer equivalent of wearing yoga pants in winter to your child's school assembly: wearing a tennis skirt in summer to the grocery or baseball games.

If you'll be outside all day, hot and sweaty, the sports skort is perfect with a t-shirt and sandals or espadrilles. But keep it on the longer side. Fun fact: even if they are the exact same length, skirts or skorts will appear to look longer than shorts. Here's a longer golf skort I like.
